Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

andc-fresh Yes it is your typical direct to video action flick. And of course they do their best to change it up a little bit but fail miraculously. Snipes delivers his perfectly bland performance that he always does. Colloca proves that you don't need any talent to star in a film but just sex appeal. The worst part is that it didn't cover my bad movie basics which are: 1 – Cheap looking villains. 2 – Perfectly timed one-liners. 3 – Intense car chases with massive explosions. 4 – The hero hooking up with the hot chick. 5 – Multitudes of nude or scantily clad women for no reason. OK so I lied, it covers those but does so horribly.

Batkid1 I previously enjoyed Snipe's last two efforts "Chaos" and "7 Seconds" and hated his other trilogy of cheap cash-ins known as "Unstoppable," "The Marksman" and "The Contractor." I give this film credit because I saw it for free on USA cable network, which loves this sort of content. Anyway, this movie starts out talking about terrorists and how they love to steal nuclear devices. The character development is almost next-to-none therefore making a regular B-movie to set it apart from the other DVDs on your videostore. You get a good stunts that look realistic, a guy who you know is goingto betray Snipes, but yet the movie-makers act like it is still a creative twist. There is promise in Snipes making a creative comeback, but that hope demises when you start hearing a voice that sounds nothing like him come out of his mouth. His co-star Slivia Collaca (one of the brides in the dreadful "Van Helsing") has little to work with and gets a little annoying because she yells a lot and can't defend herself really well. The director also directed another common DTV star's movie that starred none other then Steven Seagal if it makes you feel any better about this flick. Anyway, Snipes topples the bad guys's plan only to result in getting killed as well, thus, leaving a very disappointed viewer.

xredgarnetx The real star of THE DETONATOR is the special effects department, as a veritable unending series of cars are blown up and people who get shot definitely look like they are getting shot. Wesly Snipes costars with these eye-popping special effects as an American agent who must protect the widow of a man who stole $30 million from the Romanian mob. Snipes is actually in terrific shape for an aging action star, but it is sad to see him reduced to appearing in one STV after another in recent years. Shot on the cheap in Romania, with a largely Romanian cast and crew, THE DETONATOR looks a lot like any current Steven Segall STV shot overseas. What is Snipes thinking? He is, or was, a major Hollywood star. He doesn't look or act like he has aged a day since MONEY TRAIN, so I don't get it. Could the money be that good? The widow, played by Silvia Collaca, is a knockout and the only real reason for watching this highly predictable thriller. By the way, THE DETONATOR looks like it may have been shot back-to-back with THE MARKSMAN, in which Snipes portrays an Army sniper in Romania. I fell asleep during that one, but my wife enjoyed it!

rossboyask Meh, Sums it all up for me really. Boring story, bland dialogue, dull action scenes (HOW do you make something like a fight or a shootout boring? Do you actually have to TRY to do that?), no real characters etc. Just dull. Snipes is a gifted actor and physical performer but none of this has come to the surface in ANY of his DTV work, when the opportunity is there to give the audience a much more superior product than they are used to. Imagine a decent script with a few solid characters that you care about and some damn explosive action, fights, shootouts, etc. How can it be that hard to handle? My personal opinion is that the primary players in the productions simply do not care. There is no evidence of enthusiasm for what they are doing. Look at Snipes in the first 2 Blades, Passenger 57, Rising Sun, New Jack City, Demolition Man etc? Awesome, intense performances complemented by decent (if not always outstanding) scripts, good supporting casts and wicked action.None of that is evident in any of these releases so far which is a tremendous shame. The distributors slap Wesley's face on the cover, knowing the audience will lap them up as they haven't realised yet that they haven't seen him in theatres for nearly 2 years.I'd love to see Snipes work with somebody like Isaac Florentine who really knows how to make the most out of a DTV production, and work with Alpha Stunts who are simply some of the best action guys out there. Together they would all make an awesome team and a Snipes action vehicle we would all be proud of seeing.Detonator sucks. It's not as bad as The Marksman, which chews, but it still really sucks.
